Tagine is a North African stew traditionally made in an earthenware pot. Our Collard and Cashew Sweet Potato Tagine with lemon and apricots is unbelievably delicious and packed with anticancer nutrients from garlic, onions, ginger, cloves, peppers and more. This dish is sweet, savory and spicy and never fails to deliver cozy comfort-food vibes, and I get super excited every time Micah tells me she’s making it for dinner.
Collard and Cashew Sweet Potato Tagine
Serves 4-6
Ingredients
-1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
-1 medium onion, diced
-8 garlic cloves, minced
-1 tablespoon minced ginger
-1 medium serrano pepper, minced
-4 cups vegetable broth
-2 cups water

Directions
1. Sauté the olive oil, onion, garlic, ginger, and serrano pepper in a Dutch oven or tagine over medium-high heat for 5 minutes, or until the onion is translucent.
